Answer:

contain a mutated tumor-suppressor gene.

Explanation:

  • A tumor suppressor gene performs the function of regulating the proper division of the cells as well as regulating replication.

The tumor suppressor genes perform the following functions :

  1. Maintain the stability of the genome.
  2. Regulate cell growth.
  3. Regulates cell proliferation rate.
  • Whenever the tumor suppressor genes get mutated it would either result in a loss of its function or a reduction in its function which can lead to the abnormal growth of cells.
  • Hence, if the DNA is damaged, the cells become crowded and the nutrients run low then this indicates that the tumor suppressor genes are mutated.

Write a paragraph or two below to explain why there is a little change in the pH of battery acid when it is diluted with water.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acid is becoming less acidic. Similarly, when an alkali is diluted with water the concentration of OH - ions decreases. This causes the pH of the alkali to fall towards 7, making the solution less alkaline as more water is added.

To measure the population density of monarch butterflies occupying a particular park, 100 butterflies are captured, marked with
Sav [38]

Answer:

Given merely 40 butterflies were marked, assumed that there were multiple captures of both marked and unmarked butterflies, that the butterflies caught in traps were on the loose to be caught again. There are two mathematical solutions for this, both yielding the same answer which is 100. 

• First, to each marked butterfly was taken twice (40 marked X2 = 80 captured) then of the unmarked butterflies the 120 captured must relate to 60 actual butterflies. In which 40 + 60 = 100. 

• Secondly, by means of ratios in which 80/200 = 40/X. In this case X also = 100 that will result to the estimated size of the population of wilson park is 100.
